Counseling for Distressed Medical Professionals
This study, called "Reaching Out to Distressed Medical Residents, Fellows and Faculty," is looking at whether medical residents, fellows, and faculty at OHSU who are feeling distressed can benefit from an online screening program. This program helps identify stress, depression, substance use, and suicidal thoughts. The study hopes that this anonymous online interaction with a clinician will encourage more people to seek in-person counseling. The main goal is to see how much distress medical trainees and faculty experience, and to understand who seeks counseling and how well they respond to treatment. The study expects that receiving treatment will lower the risk of suicide.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants receive a specific intervention (counseling). It plans to enroll 4000 OHSU medical residents, fellows, and full-time School of Medicine faculty.
- What's involved
- Participants would complete an online screening and, if distressed, may be offered in-person counseling. The level of distress will be measured at the start of treatment and at the end of treatment or 6 months after the last visit.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants' level of distress will be measured at the time of intake (baseline) to their end of treatment or 6 months since last seen.
